Kinda takes the shine off your whole day. I must admit that Brett Ewins death was more depressing foir me, personally, but this comes in a pretty close second. Tempus Fugit indeed. The heroes of our youth die before us, and act as a reminder to us, to do what we should - what we can - in the time we have left. Take it easy. LLAP Leonard.

As the years go by so more and more poop their clogs. As I pointed out to someone: Nimoy was 83 years old and admitted he'd had a great life and, let's face it, his name is NEVER going to be forgotten while there is a single Star Trek fan out there. Look at all the very low paid comic book artists and writers who lived and died in obscurity. Also, I should be so lucky to get to 83!He had a good life and enjoyed himself now he's gone.Do what you can while you can!
